Aishwarya Rai as Benazir Bhutto

In UTV Motion Picture’s upcoming movie on Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutoo, Aishwarya Rai is supposed to play the lead role. UTV CEO Siddharth Roy Kapoor said, “We are in talks with her and it’s too early to comment on the project.” UTV officials are talking with Pakistani officials and Benazir Bhutto’s family members.

Ash’s bucket is full of big projects and she has more work then ever these days. She isn’t even able to give dates for Shankar’s mega-project Robot with superstar Rajnikant. You can imagine how busy she is now-a-days. Though she somewhat matches the looks of Benazri, but real thing is to copy her way of talking, specially her Urdu accent, and body language. I think this movie on Benazir is going to be her test. It’s not easy to portray a personality like Benazir Bhutto. Let’s see how far our Ash can take this role.
